Step 7 Professional 2021 / 5.7 tragedy

I have just recived feedback from siemens.

See: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109798574

Have you installed 2021? With that option disabled, does Step 7 then recognize the packages properly, or is it still listing them as missing?

Thanks.

I have installed Step 7 Professional 2021 / 5.7 and all previously installed packages are recognized and function properly.

The only difference is that a message informing you that  the Integrity monitoring is disabled appears on all the Step 7 windows from now on. 

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem and after a couple of days of emails with Siemens Support they sent me the link below to the S7-PM software but told me that it will need a licence if the functionality is used but at present they can't see the licence in the Mall.

I have installed the software and the read-only problem has gone and I can now edit my project. As far as I can tell the functionality of the software hasn't been used in the project so I am not getting any licencing problems as yet.

Note the software is export restricted so you need to be approved to download. See link below if you are not.

Hope this helps
